SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 643,374, dated February13, 1900. Application filed II we 19, 1899. Serial No. 721010. (Nomodel.)

Be it known that 1, JOHN E. HILL, a subject of the Queen of GreatBritain, and a resident of the city of St. Louis, in the State ofMissouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPaper-Cutters, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, formingpart of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved manner of attaching the blade to thearms that carry it, the manner ofattachment being inexpensive and of acharacter that will give additional strength and stiffness to the blade.

My invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fullydescribed, and pointed out in the claim.

Figure I is a front View of a roll-paper holder and cutter with theblade attached in accordance with my invention. Fig. II is a detachedview of the blade and its arms, the former being shown mostly insection; Fig. III is a section taken on line III III, Fig. II.

1 represents the arms, and 2 the blade, of a roll-paper holder andcutter. The arms are preferably made of a single piece of Wire, the ends3 of which are intended to be attached to the top pieceof the frame ofthe machine, and around these ends the usual springs 4 are wound. Theblade is perforated at 5 for the passage of the arms, and the upper edgeof the blade is bent around the connecting hori zontal part 6 of thearms, as shown. in Fig. III, thereby connecting the blade securely tothe arms, while the connecting part 6 of the arms adds strength andstifiness to the blades.

By passing the arms through perforations in the blade they act to keepthe blade from rotating and the friction between the parts does not haveto be depended upon, as would be the case if the arms were outside ofthe ends of the blade and the latter bent around the part connecting thearms.

I claim as my invention-=- In a paper-cutter, the combination. ofsupporting-arms having a connecting portion,and a blade perforated toreceive the arms and having its upper portion bent around the connectingportion of the arms, substantially as 56 set forth.

JOHN E. HILL.
